The people in charge of the NFL must all be big fans of Bruno Mars, as he has been asked to take part in the halftime show again, according to a report by Entertainment Weekly.

The pop singer took to the biggest stage available just two years ago, when he showed that he’s an all-star performer and musician, and that he’s up to the task of entertaining millions. At the time, his performance was the most-watched Super Bowl halftime show of all time, with an incredible 115 million viewers. That was bested the following year by Katy Perry, who got 121 million to tune in.

According to Billboard, Mars has been asked to curate the show, not necessarily just headline himself. This may mean that he’s going to be in charge of hiring other talent to perform, though putting his name forward first means it is likely he’s still going to be the star. When he headlined recently, he was joined by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, so clearly Mars has good taste when asking other musicians to join him on stage.

Mars is both a great choice and a terrible one for the upcoming halftime show. On one hand, he just headlined two years ago, and he hasn’t released a new album of material since. The NFL asking him back so soon makes it seem as if there are no other acts that are up to the task, when really, there are plenty who could do a fine enough job. Would a little more variety really be a bad thing?

On the other hand, Mars is still a hot commodity, and it is likely that in the coming months he’ll jump back into the spotlight...though he never really left. While the promotion of his last album, Unorthodox Jukebox, ended some time ago, he was featured on Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk!”, which sat in the top spot of the Hot 100 for fourteen weeks, making it one of the longest-running number one hits of all time. The song is already headed towards sweeping the Grammys in February, and Mars is expected to return sometime soon with new material of his own.

It will be interesting to see if Mars accepts (there has been no confirmation that he has), and what he’ll do with the show if he does.
